marozi
The marozi is a name given to a type of spotted feline similar to a lion but with leopard-like spots, which was sighted in Kenya in the early 20th century. Skins of hunted specimens fitting the description do exist, but have not been sufficient for biologists to come to any definite conclusion regarding the nature of the animal. Though various cryptozoological theories have been advanced, a single book published in 1963 claims that the general consensus at the time was that the marozi is a colour morph of some known subspecies of lion, perhaps involving individuals that retained juvenile spots
